We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework. We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn’t remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem. “I did see a shooting star yesterday,” I said, “Maybe that’s why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.” At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says. Dad and I just look at each other Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal. 4. From Paragraph 3 we can learn __________. A. Sylvia knocked into the wall. B. Sylvia was possibly out of order. C. Sylvia was hit by a shooting star. D. Sylvia wouldn’t like to work for us. 5. Why does Sylvia ask for a medal as a tip? A. Because she has got enough coins. B. Because she works hard for dinner. C. Because she wants to watch the game. D. Because she has learned to think by memory chips. 6. How do Dad and I find Sylvia’s performance? A. Worrying. B. Annoying. C. Amazing. D. Frightening. 7. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. An extraordinary tip for a robot B. Our unexpected life in the future C. The robot—an important helper D. The function of robots like humans C “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.” PFAS chemicals, known for their longevity (持久) and potential harm, can affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can exist over thousands of years in the environment, which has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items to make them waterproof and heat-resistant. For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials—paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested. “The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw—or just avoid using straws.” The PFAS concentrations are low and cause a limited risk to human health, considering that most people only use straws occasionally. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes. 8. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Exciting. B. Questionable. C. Simple. D. Related. 9. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Researchers found PFAS in all five types of straws. B. Bamboo straws contain more PFAS than paper ones. C. PFAS chemicals are not related to health problems. D. It will be long before PFAS breaks down in the environment. 10. What will the author be likely to talk about following the last paragraph? A. Choosing only bamboo straws. B. Using stainless steel straws widely. C The potential risks of PFAS to humans. D. The duration for PFAS to break down in the body. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A diary. B. A health magazine. C. A textbook. D. An advertisement. D Mangroves (红树) are trees that typically grow in saltwater along coasts. But some red mangroves end up deep in the rainforests of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. These plants live in freshwater along the San Pedro Martir River. That’s nearly 200 kilometers from the sea. Scientists wanted to know how these mangoves got trapped so far inland. Carlos Burelo was among them. He became curious about these mangroves on a childhood fishing trip there 35 years ago. Burelo saw that the roots of the mangroves grew above ground. This was different from the other trees. Burelo’s team first investigated where the freshwater mangroves came from. They started by collecting their leaves and then compared their DNA to the leaves from coastal mangroves which were growing along the Gulf of Mexico. The DNA helped identify the origins of the mangroves on the San Pedro Martir River. They had started along the Gulf of Mexico, some 170 kilometers away from the river. The team discovered other evidence that this ecosystem had once been coastal. They discovered 112 other species in this region that are typically found near coasts. The researchers looked at the soil too. “These sediments (沉积物) near the mangroves revealed exactly what we expected,” says Exequiel Ezcurra, an ecologist at the University of California. In all, the researchers turned up coastal stones, shells of sea snails and clay sediments rich in shell fragments (碎片). These led the researchers to conclude the area used to be part of the ocean long ago. Computer models of how sea level has changed over time confirmed those findings. The models showed that when sea levels were higher in the past the ocean flooded the lower basin of the San Pedro Martir River. That would have been around 150,000 to 130,000 years ago. This pushed red mangroves and other species inland. “This discovery highlights how changes to the past climate have affected the world’s coastlines,” Ezcurra says. “It also offers a chance to better understand how future sea level rise may affect these ecosystems.” 12. What can we know about mangroves according to the passage? A. They have a great effect on the sea level. B. The origins of mangroves are in freshwater. C. They typically grow in saltwater along coasts. D. The roots of mangroves grow underground. 13. How did the team conduct the research according to paragraph 2? A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing an experience. C. By analyzing some data. D. By quoting others’ opinions. 14. Why were computer models used in the research? A. To analyze the elements of the soil. B. To confirm the conclusions of the research. C. To study the leaves of coastal mangroves D. To discover more other mangrove species. 15. What does the discovery stress? A. The importance of comparing the DNA of leaves. B. The benefit of using computer models in the study. C. The impact of human activities on these ecosystems. D. The effect of the past climate changes on coastlines. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Negative Effects of Social Media Social media is, arguably, one of the most exciting developments in recent history.

The two kids got on well with each other, unlike some other brothers who would often fight over small things. They shared everything happening in their school and exchanged their favourite toys and books. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Ella called out to her children, “Jim and Dick, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always the last thing they wanted to do. Unhappy, Jim and Dick dragged their feet into their messy room. Toys were thrown randomly here and there on the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly (随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a total mess! Mom came in, “Oh, God! How come? We need to work together to clean it up.” Jim and Dick exchanged looks, clearly not delighted with the task at hand. There were a few arguments between them, especially when it came to cleaning their room. Mom, realizing their unwillingness, said to the kids, “A clean room not only looks nice but also helps us arrange our life in an orderly way. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something. Their father happened to hear the conversation and decided to give them a hand. He came up with a good idea. He said, “I know that cleaning can be dull, but what if we change it into a fun contest? The winner, who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room, will decide what we have for dessert tonight!” Their faces lighting up with excitement, they accepted their father’s suggestion. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Curious about what they would find, they took immediate action individually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The room became less messy gradually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABCBA 6-10 CBACA 11-15 ACABC 16-20 BCBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 吕梁市2023-2024学年高二第一学期期末调研测试 英语试题 （本试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。答案一律写在答题卡上） 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚 3.请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4.作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第Ⅰ卷 选择题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The screen drops down to cover one wall. We give our robot Sylvia our orders for popcorn and juice for dinner. She is only a machine but she looks like a human and helps with the housework. We are having popcorn for dinner tonight because something is wrong with our oven (烤箱). It is broken and keeps on repeating that it doesn’t remember how to cook. Dad thinks the shooting star passing by Earth has caused the problem. “I did see a shooting star yesterday” I said, “Maybe that’s why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall. It was lucky that she got her balance in the end and successfully stood up.” At last, Sylvia arrives with our popcorn and drinks. I look at the screen and watch the Olympic Games. Sylvia watches it too. Dad gives her coins as a tip. Sylvia thanks him for the coins and starts to leave the room. Then she turns back to where we are sitting. I hear some clicking sounds. The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says. Dad and I just look at each other. Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think. Then we burst out laughing and award Sylvia a gold medal. 4. From Paragraph 3 we can learn __________. A Sylvia knocked into the wall. B. Sylvia was possibly out of order. C. Sylvia was hit by a shooting star. D. Sylvia wouldn’t like to work for us. 5. Why does Sylvia ask for a medal as a tip? A. Because she has got enough coins. B. Because she works hard for dinner. C. Because she wants to watch the game. D. Because she has learned to think by memory chips. 6. How do Dad and I find Sylvia’s performance? A. Worrying. B. Annoying. C. Amazing. D. Frightening. 7. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. An extraordinary tip for a robot B. Our unexpected life in the future C. The robot—an important helper D. The function of robots like humans 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了在未来日常生活中智能机器人学会思考的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““I did see a shooting star yesterday,” I said, “Maybe that’s why I had trouble getting Sylvia started this morning. She turned around and around, hardly stood when she tried to take a step, and almost fell backwards. She finally started moving towards me, but then suddenly turned, and went backwards. I thought she was going to knock into a wall.(“我昨天确实看到了一颗流星，”我说，“也许这就是为什么我今天早上很难让西尔维娅开始工作的原因。她转过身来，想迈步的时候几乎站不住，差点向后摔倒。她终于开始向我走来，但突然转过身来，向后退。我以为她会撞到墙上)”可知，西尔维娅出了故障，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.(这些声音意味着她正在记忆芯片中搜寻信息。“在奥运会期间，我应该获得奖牌，而不是硬币，”她说)”以及最后一段“Sylvia doesn’t seem to know that robots aren’t supposed to think.(西尔维娅似乎不知道机器人不应该思考)”可知，西尔维娅要一枚奖章作为小费是因为她已经学会了通过记忆芯片思考。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.(这些声音意味着她正在记忆芯片中搜寻信息。“在奥运会期间，我应该获得奖牌，而不是硬币，”她说)”可知，机器人西尔维娅会索要奖牌作为小费，可知她的各种表现是“令人称奇的，了不起的”，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The sounds mean that she is searching her memory chips for information. “During the Olympics I should get medals, not coins,” she says.(这些声音意味着她正在记忆芯片中搜寻信息。“在奥运会期间，我应该获得奖牌，而不是硬币，”她说)”结合本文描绘了一幅未来生活的场景：爸爸和“我”在媒体室看奥运会，机器人Sylvia 提供爆米花和果汁。爸爸用硬币作为小费，机器人则坚持在奥运期间应该获得奖牌，而不是硬币，A选项“对于机器人来说，这是非常棒的小费”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C “Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.” PFAS chemicals, known for their longevity (持久) and potential harm, can affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can exist over thousands of years in the environment, which has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. They are linked to various health issues. Furthermore, these chemicals are used in everyday items to make them waterproof and heat-resistant. For a more in-depth analysis, the research team purchased 39 different brands of drinking straws made from five materials—paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel and plastic, and then conducted two rounds of testing for PFAS. They found that most brands (69%) contained PFAS, with 18 different PFAS detected in total. In paper straws, PFAS was detected in 90% of the brands tested. PFAS was also detected in 80% of brands of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straw brands and 40% of glass straw brands. They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested. “The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable,” says Dr. Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw—or just avoid using straws.” The PFAS concentrations are low and cause a limited risk to human health, considering that most people only use straws occasionally. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes. 8. What does the underlined word “discredited” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Exciting. B. Questionable. C. Simple. D. Related. 9. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Researchers found PFAS in all five types of straws. B. Bamboo straws contain more PFAS than paper ones. C. PFAS chemicals are not related to health problems. D. It will be long before PFAS breaks down in the environment. 10. What will the author be likely to talk about following the last paragraph? A. Choosing only bamboo straws. B. Using stainless steel straws widely. C. The potential risks of PFAS to humans. D. The duration for PFAS to break down in the body. 11. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A diary. B. A health magazine. C. A textbook. D. An advertisement. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了安特卫普大学的环境科学家、研究员蒂莫·格罗芬博士表示，用纸和竹子等植物材料制成的吸管，通常被宣传为比塑料制成的吸管更可持续、更环保。然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“PFAS chemicals, known for their longevity (持久) and potential harm, can affect humans, wildlife and the environment. They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can exist over thousands of years in the environment, which has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. (PFAS化学物质以其寿命长和潜在危害而闻名，可以影响人类、野生动物和环境。随着时间的推移，它们的生物降解非常缓慢，可以在环境中存在数千年，这使得它们被称为“永远的化学物质”。)” 由此可推知，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着之前的宣传是“令人质疑的”。“questionable”意为“可疑的,有问题的”，符合语境，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They biodegrade (生物降解) very slowly over time and can exist over thousands of years in the environment, which has led to them being known as “forever chemicals”. (随着时间的推移，它们的生物降解非常缓慢，可以在环境中存在数千年，这使得它们被称为“永远的化学物质”。)”可知，PFAS护额学物质为成为“永远的化学物质”，所以需要很长时间才能降解。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The PFAS concentrations are low and cause a limited risk to human health, considering that most people only use straws occasionally. However, PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time. “Small amounts of PFAS, while not harmful in themselves, can add to the chemical load already present in the body,” Dr. Groffen concludes. (考虑到大多数人只是偶尔使用吸管，PFAS浓度很低，对人类健康造成的风险有限。然而，PFAS可以在体内停留多年，浓度会随着时间的推移而增加。“少量的PFAS虽然本身无害，但会增加体内已经存在的化学负荷，”Groffen博士总结道。)” PFAS浓度很低，考虑到大多数人往往只是偶尔使用吸管，因此对人体健康构成的风险有限。然而，PFAS可以在体内停留多年，浓度会随着时间的推移而增加。少量的PFAS虽然本身无害，但会增加体内已经存在的化学负荷。由此可推知，下一段旨在分析PFAS的潜在威胁。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“‘Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” says researcher Dr. Thimo Groffen, an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means that could be discredited.’ (安特卫普大学的环境科学家、研究员蒂莫·格罗芬博士说:“用纸和竹子等植物材料制成的吸管，通常被宣传为比塑料制成的吸管更可持续、更环保。”“然而，这些吸管中PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的。”)”以及全文内容可知，本文讲述的是PFAS的存在意味着这可能是不可信的，所以本文可能来自于健康杂志。故选B。 D Mangroves (红树) are trees that typically grow in saltwater along coasts. But some red mangroves end up deep in the rainforests of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. These plants live in freshwater along the San Pedro Martir River. That’s nearly 200 kilometers from the sea. Scientists wanted to know how these mangoves got trapped so far inland. Carlos Burelo was among them. He became curious about these mangroves on a childhood fishing trip there 35 years ago. Burelo saw that the roots of the mangroves grew above ground. This was different from the other trees. Burelo’s team first investigated where the freshwater mangroves came from. They started by collecting their leaves and then compared their DNA to the leaves from coastal mangroves which were growing along the Gulf of Mexico. The DNA helped identify the origins of the mangroves on the San Pedro Martir River. They had started along the Gulf of Mexico, some 170 kilometers away from the river. The team discovered other evidence that this ecosystem had once been coastal. They discovered 112 other species in this region that are typically found near coasts. The researchers looked at the soil too. “These sediments (沉积物) near the mangroves revealed exactly what we expected,” says Exequiel Ezcurra, an ecologist at the University of California. In all, the researchers turned up coastal stones, shells of sea snails and clay sediments rich in shell fragments (碎片). These led the researchers to conclude the area used to be part of the ocean long ago. Computer models of how sea level has changed over time confirmed those findings. The models showed that when sea levels were higher in the past, the ocean flooded the lower basin of the San Pedro Martir River. That would have been around 150,000 to 130,000 years ago. This pushed red mangroves and other species inland. “This discovery highlights how changes to the past climate have affected the world’s coastlines,” Ezcurra says. “It also offers a chance to better understand how future sea level rise may affect these ecosystems.” 12. What can we know about mangroves according to the passage? A. They have a great effect on the sea level. B. The origins of mangroves are in freshwater. C. They typically grow in saltwater along coasts. D. The roots of mangroves grow underground. 13. How did the team conduct the research according to paragraph 2? A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing an experience. C. By analyzing some data. D. By quoting others’ opinions. 14. Why were computer models used in the research? A. To analyze the elements of the soil. B. To confirm the conclusions of the research. C. To study the leaves of coastal mangroves D. To discover more other mangrove species. 15. What does the discovery stress? A. The importance of comparing the DNA of leaves. B. The benefit of using computer models in the study. C. The impact of human activities on these ecosystems. D. The effect of the past climate changes on coastlines. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了红树这种生长在沿海的生物在淡水地区被发现，科研人员们通过研究发现，这些红树生长的淡水地区在历史上曾经是海洋。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mangroves (红树) are trees that typically grow in saltwater along coasts. (红树林是一种通常生长在沿海咸水中的树木。)”可知，红树林通常生长在沿海的盐水中。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They started by collecting their leaves and then compared their DNA to the leaves from coastal mangroves which were growing along the Gulf of Mexico.

Despite so many benefits, it has negative effects that you need to be aware of. • Reduce Face-to-Face Interaction When you are on social media more often, not only do you spend less quality time with people who are physically present in your life, but they will quickly get annoyed when you’re mindlessly browsing social media websites instead of paying attention to them. ____16____ Even best friends may face similar situation at times. • Lead to depression According to recent studies, the more people use social media, the more negative feelings they experience, including depression. ____17____ It has been suggested that these negative feelings and depressive symptoms come from increased social comparisons and a lack of social interaction caused by spending more time on social media. • Distract From Life Goals ____18____ Social media allows an easy way out to distract us when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work, and we can end up going down a path where we simply don’t get things done because it becomes too easy to find a distraction. •____19____ Social media is the easiest way to block the creative process. Surfing social media sites has a negative effect on the mind. Creativity often requires intense focus or a relatively clear, relaxed mind. Social media gets in the way of both. All in all, when used wisely, social media can be a great way to connect with others when face-to-face interactions are impossible. ____20____ A. Kill Creativity. B. Decrease sleep time. C. Achieving goals takes hard work and motivation. D. However, it also counts to avoid its negative effects. E. Also, it’s very clear that privacy and the Internet don’t mix well. F.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体的危害。 【16题详解】 上文“When you are on social media more often, not only do you spend less quality time with people who are physically present in your life, but they will quickly get annoyed when you’re mindlessly browsing social media websites instead of paying attention to them.(当你更频繁地使用社交媒体时，你不仅会花更少的时间与生活中的人相处，而且当你无意识地浏览社交媒体网站而不是关注它们时，他们会很快感到恼火)”说明当人们过度使用社交媒体时，会减少面对面的交流，并且会让身边的人感到恼火。空处承接上文，进一步说明频繁地使用社交媒体时产生的后果。F项中的This指代前文中的“当你更频繁地使用社交媒体时，你不仅会花更少的时间与生活中的人相处”这件事，说明F项“这使得沟通更加复杂，并导致误解。”符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 标题“Lead to depression(导致抑郁)”以及上文“According to recent studies, the more people use social media, the more negative feelings they experience, including depression. (根据最近的研究，使用社交媒体的人越多，他们经历的负面情绪就越多，包括抑郁)”说明近期研究表明，社交媒体的使用与更多负面情绪体验，包括抑郁之间存在关联。空处承接上文，进一步说明负面情绪多所造成的后果，G项中的This指代上文中的“the more negative feelings they experience, including depression”，“anxiety and depression”和标题相呼应，说明“这可能对患有焦虑和抑郁的人特别有害。”符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 下文“Social media allows an easy way out to distract us when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work, and we can end up going down a path where we simply don’t get things done because it becomes too easy to find a distraction.(当我们不想投入艰苦的工作时，社交媒体提供了一种简单的方法来分散我们的注意力，我们最终可能会走上一条根本无法完成任务的道路，因为很容易找到分散注意力的方法)”说明社交媒体会分散我们对生活目标的注意力。空处承接标题，引出下文。C项中的“Achieving goals”和标题中的“Life Goals”相呼应，“akes hard work and motivation”和下文“when we don’t feel like putting in the hard work”相呼应，实现目标需要努力和动力，而社交媒体提供了一种简单的方法来分散我们的注意力。C项“实现目标需要努力和动力。”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 下文“Social media is the easiest way to block the creative process. Surfing social media sites has a negative effect on the mind. Creativity often requires intense focus or a relatively clear, relaxed mind.(社交媒体是阻止创作过程的最简单方法。浏览社交媒体网站会对大脑产生负面影响。创造力通常需要集中注意力或相对清晰、放松的心态)”说明本段主要是关于社交媒体能够阻止创造力的产生。A项“扼杀创造力”适合作本段的标题。故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“All in all, when used wisely, social media can be a great way to connect with others when face-to-face interactions are impossible.(总而言之，如果使用得当，当无法进行面对面的互动时，社交媒体可以成为与他人联系的好方法)”说明当无法进行面对面交流时，合理使用社交媒体可以成为连接他人的有效工具。空处和前文形成转折关系，提醒我们在享受社交媒体带来的好处的同时，也要注意规避它的负面影响。D项“然而，这也有助于避免其负面影响。”符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I’m a teenage girl.

The two kids got on well with each other, unlike some other brothers who would often fight over small things. They shared everything happening in their school and exchanged their favourite toys and books. Except for one thing, cleaning! One sunny morning, Ella called out to her children, “Jim and Dick, it’s time to clean your room!” The kids sighed deeply. Cleaning their room was always the last thing they wanted to do. Unhappy, Jim and Dick dragged their feet into their messy room. Toys were thrown randomly here and there on the floor, clothes were piled up on chairs, and books were haphazardly (随意的) piled on the shelves. It was a total mess! Mom came in, “Oh, God! How come? We need to work together to clean it up.” Jim and Dick exchanged looks, clearly not delighted with the task at hand. There were a few arguments between them, especially when it came to cleaning their room. Mom, realizing their unwillingness, said to the kids, “A clean room not only looks nice but also helps us arrange our life in an orderly way. It’s important to take care of our belongings and keep our surroundings clean.” The boys didn’t respond, seemingly thinking about something. Their father happened to hear the conversation and decided to give them a hand. He came up with a good idea. He said, “I know that cleaning can be dull, but what if we change it into a fun contest? The winner, who can find the most interesting item hidden in this messy room, will decide what we have for dessert tonight!” Their faces lighting up with excitement, they accepted their father’s suggestion. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Curious about what they would find, they took immediate action individually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The room became less messy gradually. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Curious about what they would find, they took immediate action individually. To their surprise, Jim discovered his favorite toy car that he had been searching for weeks while Dick found a missing colorful pencil buried under a pile of papers. The boys couldn’t contain their excitement as they continued their search. As they explored the room, they came across forgotten treasures, like a model plane, candies and comic books. Each discovery brought laughter and pleasure, making the cleaning more enjoyable than they had ever expected. The room became less messy gradually. Ken saw his boys working together, helping each other find hidden items, and laughing throughout the exploration. After what seemed like hours of searching and cleaning, the boys finally declared their search complete. The room was now tidy, and their treasures were proudly displayed. Mom entered the room, amazed at the changes. Considering their excellent performance, Mom let the boys choose their favorite dessert for the night together. Happily tasting their treats, they enjoyed the victory that came from working together and turning a boring task into a memorable exploration. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ela和她的丈夫Ken 在乡下有一所漂亮的房子，但他们的孩子Jim和Dick总是不喜欢打扫房间，于是父亲将打扫房间变成一场比赛。最后经过打扫，房间变得整洁，清理过程也比他们想象的更愉快。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“想要知道他们会找到什么宝物，他们即刻开始行动”可知，第一段可描写他们打扫的经过以及感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“房间逐渐变得不那么乱了”可知，第二段可描写房间打扫整洁，他们也有了一次难忘的探索。 2.续写线索：开始整理——发现丢失的物品-——带来快乐——房间整洁——得到奖励——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：search/ look for ②抑制：contain/ control/ restrain ③展现：display/ show 情绪类： ①兴奋：excitement/ joy/ stimulation ②惊奇的，惊讶的：amazed/ surprised 【点睛】[高分句型1] To their surprise, Jim discovered his favorite toy car that he had been searching for weeks while Dick found a missing colorful pencil buried under a pile of papers.（运用了that引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Each discovery brought laughter and pleasure, making the cleaning more enjoyable than they had ever expected.（运用了现在分词作状语） 听力1-5 ABCBA 6-10 CBACA 11-15 ACABC 16-20 BCBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
